Had the opportunity last week to stop by his shop and take him for a ride in the Caterham. He also gave me a great tour of his place

I watched that video he is a unusual but very talented individual. He is really tall. Did he fit in the Caterham? He looks 6'6".

Is it just me or is he starting to get a bit overexposed these days? Maybe its the digital circles I run in...

 

His work is very cool and he is promoting his business.

 

I guess I should not be so cynical. Good on ya Magnus.

Well clearly he is good at promotion and that is how he has successful clothing and film location businesses, but he was approached by the filmmakers to make this after they saw a thread he had made about his "obsession" on the Pelican Parts forum not the other way around. As I understand it, he builds the cars for himself not necessarily to sell and the films intend was actually more of a promotion piece for the filmmakers than for Magnus
